Becoming Closer to God

This morning I got up and went to my library class and it only lasted 18 minutes. It took longer to actually get to and from class then it lasted. Today started the beginning of Vision week that CCH is doing to hopefully grow relationships with God.I decided to give up facebook until Thursday night when Vision Week is over. It is very hard but its going to be worth it and after 24 hours God is already teaching me many things. Since I got out of class early I went to photo lab to put my assignment on the server and do another assignment. I don't usually post pictures but I'm going to share my themed time assignment, Here is just one of the pictures. It's of Casen. I also took some of Katie and of the leaves outside. To me this picture is a definition of time. After working the lab, I came back to my room and just listened to music until Foundations. We looked at professional photographers. This one guy went to the top of a skyscraper on one of the poles were there is a light so planes don't hit them and took a picture. Now I am not afraid of most heights but I just don't think I could do that. Then I went and ate lunch with my friends and boyfriend. Then I went to my last class of the day,Ideas and Visual Arts. At 2:30 I had signed up to pray for the 36 hour prayer thing at CCH. I got there early so I went downstairs and did the first part of the vision week that they have set up then went and prayed. I just had an amazing time talking to God today. We got to talk and pray about a lot of things. In the prayer room one wall is painted white and there are paints and markers in there so you can doodle on the white wall. So while I was praying I painted a little saying on the wall. I thought a half hour was going to seem long but I actually went over my time so it was good that the girl who was after wasn't there yet. It's amazing what talking to God does for you. I felt so great after it. I have really been feeling like my bible reading has kind of been shoved off like o I have to do it kind of thing and I don't want that. I did this so I could experience the bible in a new way and want to read it.That's exactly what I did when I got back because I wanted to read it :). Today it was Exodus 4-9. Moses and Joseph are great testaments to what are life could be like if we just let God have his way. Now I don't think any of us will be leading people from the Egyptians anytime soon but who knows what he has planned for us. After I finished, I watched Friends then read the next chapter for my small group. I had a great afternoon growing with God. I know not having Facebook is hard but I know he's going to help me through it and because of this my reliance will hopefully be a lot less on it and more on God. I went and ate supper with everyone like usual. When we got back Jesse and I hung out for awhile until he had to leave to go to a music thing and I went and got ready for Zumba. Usually its not so tiring but today she wore us out. When I got back the others decided they wanted to play fugitive and tried to convince me but I did not give in. So I stayed in here and watched Bride Wars and did some homework. Now I am going to get ready and go over to CCH for their midnight worship service tonight. So until tomorrow! :)
